In the winter of 2006, a teenage boy named Ronny Sosa Pineda vanished from Wyoming, Michigan. At sixteen years old, Ronny was a resident at the Wedgewood Youth Facility when he was last seen on January 18th. On the day he went missing, he was reportedly wearing a brown leather coat and Timberland boots. Ronny is described as a Hispanic and White/Caucasian male, standing at 5'2' and weighing around 125 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance from the youth facility are that he is believed to have run away.
The initial report of Ronny's disappearance was filed with the Wyoming Police Department on the same day he was last seen. Despite the filing of this report and the initiation of an investigation, details about the specific actions taken in the early days and weeks following his disappearance are not widely available.
Information regarding any potential leads, searches, or interviews conducted by law enforcement has not been publicly disseminated in detail. The case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System a national database for missing persons, but this entry was created over a decade later, in July 2018.
For years, Ronny Pineda's case has remained unresolved, with very few public updates or new information emerging. His disappearance is categorized as an endangered runaway. The lack of significant leads over the many years since he was last seen has left his family and community without answers. The case serves as a somber reminder of the many individuals who go missing each year, and the enduring pain and uncertainty experienced by their loved ones. Law enforcement continues to seek any information that might shed light on what happened to Ronny after he left the Wedgewood Youth Facility on that January day.Last Seen: Jan 18, 2006
